We're In This Together (Radio Edit)
"We're In This Together" is the fifth track on the Left disc of The Fragile. It was also released as a single, receiving the designation of Halo 15, and is among the rarest of halos.
Contents
Interpretation
The song is in some ways different from most other Nine Inch Nails songs specifically in its theme of devotion, while still maintaining an air of desperation as the song's narrator clings to the only thing, or only person left in the oppressive world around him that "means anything."

Music Video
The video for this song first aired in 1999, and was directed by Mark Pellington. It shows Trent Reznor and an army of black-clad people running frantically through empty buildings, streets, and eventually a desolate field. The video was filmed on location in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Live
Although "We're In This Together" is a single, the song was never performed live, presumably due to the vocal strain required to sing it as it appears on the album. However, the song was performed for the first time, in a lower key, on 2007/02/11 during the Year Zero Warm-Up Tour. This was a dream come true for many fans, who had given up on thinking that it would happen after years of waiting.
Lyrics
I’ve become impossible
Holding on to when
When everything seemed to matter more
The two of us
All used and beaten up
Watching fate as it flows down the path we have chose
You and me
We’re in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me if the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
Awake to the sound as they peel apart the skin
They pick and they pull
Trying to get their fingers in
Well they’ve got to kill what we found
Well they’ve got to hate what they fear
Well they’ve got to make it go away
Well they’ve got to make it disappear
The farther I fall I’m beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I’m inside you
Forever and ever I am a part of
You and me
We’re in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
If the world should break in two
Until the very end of me
Until the very end of you
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone we have to hold on
When all our hope is gone we have to hold on
All that we were is gone but we can hold on
You and me
We’re in this together now
None of them can stop us now
We will make it through somehow
You and me
Even after everything
You’re the queen and I’m the king
Nothing else means anything
